3 Inflation-Resistant Stocks Poised to Keep Winning Through Year-End
Yahoo Finance ·
On June 25, the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) hit the street. During May, consumer prices rose 4.1% compared to the prior-year's month. This is the largest reported year-over-year increase in over 3 years, suggesting that solving the inflation problem remains a work in progress. Yes, one key factor driving last month's reading was rising gasoline prices. With recent geopolitical tensions easing, sending energy prices lower, the inflation rate could ease in the months ahead. Still, even if inflation eases, it's likely to remain at elevated levels, which explains newly appointed Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's hawkish "higher for longer" stance on interest rates. Nevertheless, even as high inflation persists and could lead to a new wave of stock market volatility, you need not head for the hills. While " inflation-proof investments " is a bit of a misnomer, here are three stocks that stand to thrive in the current environment: Costco Wholesale ( COST 0.86% ) , Visa ( V +1.71% ) , and WM ( WM 1.25% ) . After a strong start earlier in the year, Costco shares have pulled back in the past month. Chalk this up to valuation concerns. At its highs earlier this year, at nearly $1,100 per share, this consumer staples stock traded at nearly 50 times forward earnings.
